flower anatomy

In a raceme a flower develops at the upper angle (axil) between the stem and branch of each leaf along a long, unbranched axis. Each flower is borne on a short stalk, called a pedicel. An example of a raceme is found in the snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus).

...are borne in an inflorescence, the peduncle is the internode between the bract and the inflorescence; the internode between the receptacle of each flower and its underlying bracteole is called a pedicel. Thus, in inflorescences, bracteole is the equivalent of bract, and pedicel is the equivalent of peduncle.

...is an inflorescence in which a flower develops at the axil of each leaf along an elongated, unbranched axis (see photograph). Each flower terminates a short stalk called a pedicel. The main axis has indeterminate growth; therefore, its growth does not cease at the onset of flowering. A spike is a raceme except that the flowers are attached directly to the axis at the...
